Summary: Amazing book....
Review: I didn't expect too much from this book before I read it because I've read thousands of self-improvement type of books, some helped in some ways but fundamental issue that I have which is 'forgiveness' has never found the way to be solved.
But when I started reading this book, I noticed right way that this book is different...I grew up without love from my parents. I thought I was dealing with my problem on my own with my own way but it was just 'forget' not 'forgive'.
This book changed my life, the core of unforgiveness in me started melting. Recently I suddenly could say to myself, 'I can forgive my dad and myself who couldn't forgive him' It wasn't just the words, it was my honest and pure feeling from deep inside. I just couldn't help thanking Mira so I wrote her e-mail. She is a wonderful person, even if she is busy she sent me prompt reply. I felt warmth from her words. I highly recommend this book. You will feel like carrying this book everyday with you wherever you go...

Summary: Everything Happens For A Reason
Review: I recently purchased Mira's Kirshenbaum's new book "Everything Happens For A reason" and I found this book to be very inspiration and most beneficial. As a woman that has had much adversity in my life over these past few years, the author encouraged, that even through the worst of times, growth and peacefulness will emerge if we are open to trust in ourselves and the fact that everything does happen for a reason. As a mother that lost her only child 4 years ago to leukemia at the age of 10, I could not believe at the time, that any positives could ever come from one of the most devastating experience any parent could ever imagine. The truth is...they have....through my grief work I have grown in ways I never would have ever explored, had I not going through this experience I have had to endure. This book brought me a peacefullness in knowing that the twist and turns in our lifetime do have reason, that they help us to find true authenticity of self and to help direct us back on course to find the true meaning of our life here on this earth. The author knows first hand about adversity losing many loved ones of her own during the holcaust. Through her sharing in this book of her first hand experience with adversity in her own life, I felt that she truly could relate and understand my struggles as well. For anyone that has gone through a deep loss, whether it be a death of a loved one, illness or divorce this book is a wonderful resource to assit you with your healing. I highly recommend this book!

Review: I think this could be the best book I ever read. It made me feel so inspired!! It's so exciting -- that my life has meaning, everything that's ever happened to me, good and bad. I just love the idea that the universe is a safe, nurturing place for me, that the events of me life are all trying to help me become the real me. But there are also so many great stories, so this was not just inspiring but was a totally fun read. Do a favor for everyone you love and buy the a copy of this wonderful book.
